He barely held on to the 1st seed in one of the worst Eastern Conferences ever

No, he absolutely does not get credit for that especially when people can't stop telling me how great a coach he is

If Rondo stayed healthy, the Bulls would have beaten them in the 1st round but, yeah, tell me more about how great Stevens is



They had 3 future HoFers under Mark Jackson but weren't anywhere close to what they're doing now

I wasn't aware this was a factsfree zone my bad.:whoa: Not sure what your beef with Stevens is, but he's clearly one of the best coaches in the league. If you want to argue Kerr is better knock yourself out, but stop acting like it's not even a debate.:camby:

I can only speak for myself, but I don't see how he thinks that when the Warriors have more advanced actions (e.g. the Warriors' matryoshka doll screen split actions are more intricate than the one-man run off/bump PnR actions the Celtics use), and more movement off the ball. Even without the talent the Warriors have, their offensive system would still be the best in the league. It's basically the best of both the Triangle and SA's motion offense.

Stop it, this isn't the NFL. Talent trumps systems in the NBA. I don't care what kind of kawasaki action you're running it's not going to be as successful with Marcus Smart coming off the pick instead of Klay.

I'm not repeating myself. Read my post carefully again.

If you're using some abstract meaning of "best" then sure... I guess. If you're talking about a quantifiable meaning... :childplease:
Best in terms of complex (defense unable to read what they're doing) and effectiveness at getting the best shot possible, than yes they have the best.

How "effective" do you think the Pistons would be running GSW's offense?

The stuff they do play wise, especially off the ball is amazing, but you can't separate the talent from how successful they are. You have 3 of the best shooters in the history of the game on the floor at the same time. The way defenses have to overreact to any and every action is directly tied to how effective they are and it's just not comparable to how a team with lesser talent would operate.

I'm well aware how much Curry/KD/Klay warp opposing team defenses. I don't need to be told how the talent on the team affects the sets/actions being run.That shyt is obvious, and doesn't really need to be stated. This is why you look at their lineups when either Klay or Curry are off the floor (or both), and they're surrounded by players who aren't great shooting/scoring threats, and you can even identify when Curry or Klay aren't the immediate threats with the plays being run and you can still see how effective the team is at creating open shot opportunities, not necessarily success in completing the open looks, but how effective they are at creating them through the actions being run.
